I'm not against decision trees for any reason other than I don't need them for what I want to do. What we have now could be called decision lists, which are lists of tasks that get checked in order. Bandits will probably have more task types added to support new behaviors.
The key thing I'm doing now is a full cleanup of the zombie controller parameters, states and transitions and their avatar controller code, to get ready to be copied for the bandits, as I don't want the bandits starting from some legacy mess.
The number of bandits that are spawned at any one time. Say a bandit takes x2 the performance of a zombie, then I would not want more that half of them in the world compared to the number of zombies a computer can manage and still have a reasonable FPS. Now that does not mean the world will have bandits everywhere. That depends on game play goals. I would like bandits to be rare, because this is a zombie game and 99% of the population is dead or a zombie.

Because A for instance is the key for sidestepping left, with default controls. It's not clear how you could be getting this result, unless your key mapping is modified or there's something external to the game at work.yes and i not modified any keys all is default
Originally posted by 𝓝𝓪𝓬𝓱𝓸𝓫𝓸𝓲: IIRC (someone correct me if i''m wrong here), you can tell based on the chest inside. Generic wood crate is 1, leather chest is 2, iron chest is 3, small military crate is 4 and double military crate is 5. One of the tier 4's actually has 2 crates, a tier 4 and a tier 3 outside.
You can't really tell by glance unless the trader sends you on said difficulty quest or you know by looking at the coding/wiki/POI compilations. some normal houses might be tier 2 or tier 4, you never know!
EAI has been optimized over the years I've been working on it and UAI being dead, I have not touched it. I do plan to remove it at some point, but hopefully the bandit framework will be adequate to extend from for modders.
Good bandit performance and numbers is a goal, so they will run adequately on all systems.
It is still in the works. There were some issues with platform changes and then there was a bad merge of some of my changes that they backed out and may end up having to hand merge.

Players come up with strategies to deal with zombies and hordes and the fun pimps keep changing play to counter player strategies. Doesnt make any sense. It used to be fun to build under ground bunkers but now its just a waste of time. I wish they would deal with real issues like bugs, making a random world gen that was actually worth a ♥♥♥♥...

Where?
Optimizations are not really in progress. They just happen occasionally as I or someone else sees something to optimize. It happens throughout the development process.
Min specs should not be changing from what they are now, but we just recently increased the CPU core/frequency specs. Min spec means you can run the game, but not necessarily every feature or mod well or at all. Dynamic mesh is a good example. I would not be using it at min spec, but it is not something we enforce.
Nav is 6k.
Thanks for playing.
Not decided. Will depend on how it impacts game play.
Bandits kill squads could be as simple as a blood moon, but instead with a set group of bandits at whatever time it decided to spawn.
We will have to wait and see.
Probably. Should be higher as bandits will be more rare.
